14. The network cabinet of claim 11, wherein the hinge assembly comprises a conductive body electrically connected to the door and a conductive hinge pin electrically connected to the body.

15. The network cabinet of claim 14, wherein the hinge pin is positioned with the body.

16. The network cabinet of claim 14, wherein the body is welded to the door.

17. The network cabinet of claim 14, wherein the hinge pin is retractable.

18. The network cabinet of claim 11, further comprising a top cover electrically connected to the support frame, wherein the door is electrically connected to the support frame through the top cover.

19. The network cabinet of claim 18, wherein the hinge assembly comprises a conductive hinge pin electrically connected to the door and to the top cover.

20. The network cabinet of claim 19, wherein the hinge assembly further comprises a conductive body electrically connected to the door, wherein the hinge pin is electrically connected to the body.

21. The network cabinet of claim 20, wherein the hinge pin is positioned within the body.

22. The network cabinet of claim 19, further comprising a threaded member electrically connected to the top cover, wherein the hinge pin contacts the threaded member to provide the electrical connection between the top cover and the hinge pin.

23. The network cabinet of claim 11, wherein the hinge assembly comprises a hinge pin that is electrically connected to the door and the support frame.

24. The network cabinet of claim 23, wherein the hinge pin is movable between retracted and extended positions.

25. The network cabinet of claim 23, wherein the hinge pin is electrically connected to the door through a jumper wire.

26. The network cabinet of claim 23, wherein the support frame comprises a base frame and a door mount.

27. The network cabinet of claim 23, further comprising a bushing mounted in the support frame, wherein the bushing is electrically connected to the support frame and the hinge pin contacts the bushing to provide the electrical connection between the support frame and the hinge pin.

28. The network cabinet of claim 23, further comprising a threaded member connected to the support frame, wherein the threaded member is electrically connected to the support frame and the hinge pin contacts the threaded member to provide the electrical connection between the support frame and the hinge pin.

29. The network cabinet of claim 28, wherein the threaded member is a trilobular screw.

30. A network cabinet, comprising:a handle:a cam plate connected lo the handle, such that the handle and the cam plate rotate about an axis of rotation;a first rod rotatably connected to the cam plate, wherein the first rod rotates about a first axis of rotation; anda second rod rotatably connected to the cam plate, wherein the second rod rotates about a second axis of rotation, wherein a first plane defined by the axis of rotation and the first axis of rotation is generally perpendicular to a second plane defined by the axis of rotation and the second axis of rotation.

31. The network cabinet of claim 30, wherein the first plane extends in a generally vertical direction and the second plane extends in a generally horizontal direction with the handle in a closed position.

32. The network cabinet of claim 30, wherein the first plane extends in a generally horizontal direction and the second plane extends in a generally vertical direction with the handle in an open position.
